OK, you h...I find the spin on the Jonah story sad. OK, you have a message to deliver. I get that. Yet, I find it sad that the message coming from the Nazarenes these days are consistently anti-American (e.g., Jonah was a bad person because he was a Nationalist, a man who happened to love his country.) and consistently socialist. This is just one more example of finding a way to assault the notion of being an American -- namely those who are proud to be an American and dare to support the dream that America once offered. <br /><br />I do understand that the gospel is for all nations (that's what the book says anyway). Yet, nothing in that book says that we are to surrender our "nationalistic" view of the world. The book says "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." You would have us insert, before the preaching part, "fully reject your love of country . . . ." Yes, we are to love others; yet love doesn't mean surrendering all that defines you – loving others doesn't mean to just roll over and play dead, while others walk all over us and take what we and our American ancestors worked so hard for. The leadership of the Nazarene church has turned solidly to the left, openly embracing the very things that have failed every civilization in which it has been tried – permissiveness and socialism. No, we don't need to tax the rich man (to give to the poor man); rather, we need to teach the poor man that the Bible says such nasty capitalist stuff, like "he who will not work, let him not eat;" and implore that poor man to get to work. (The Bible has a message for the rich man, too.) Then, we can minister to the poor man’s genuine NEED, rather than support his laziness. I'm only around the Nazarenes in a peripheral manner these days, as I find the leftist message disheartening. I've heard that practicing and unrepentant homosexuals should be accepted as legitimate leaders in the church. I've heard that unrepentant adulterers, such as Amy Grant, should be provided a platform within the church to sing their songs (in other words, the modern-day Nazarene Church is a respecter of persons, even though God isn't, and those with money or fame get a pass). I've been told (Kevin Ulmet, Holiness Today, March/April 2012) that the Bible is only inerrant in matters pertaining specifically and narrowly to salvation, and all else is open to twists and interpretation to suit one's personal political agenda (if you reject the balance of the scripture, then how can you demand that the salvation part is true?). No, it is not just the Nazarenes that are under this assault from within its own walls, it is just that the assault is fresher within the Nazarene organization that it is in, say, the United Methodist "Church." <br /><br />The Nazarenes have sold out the Gospel of Jesus Christ for a leftist, post-modern pabulum that is based completely upon socialism and acceptance of all lifestyles (not mere tolerance), make that all lifestyles but those whose lifestyle dare to challenge or otherwise question the perverted gospel of the Nazarene power structure.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035246631717270242.post-69369254935018518052012-08-21T13:21:32.472-04:002012-08-21T13:21:32.472-04:00Gen 3:1 -Serpent in Hebrew is "Nacash" w...Gen 3:1 -Serpent in Hebrew is "Nacash" which translates into "Shinning one." Satan was not a serpent. He attempted to corrupt the blood line that would bring forth the Messiah to defeat him. As did the fallen of Gen 6. The deeper teaching is that Adam and Eve disobeyed God and gave dominion over the earth to lucipher. Though sexual fornication was present and Cain is the offspring of Lucipher, that is not the deeper teaching.

What you fail to include is evidence that the republicans have taken us down this path. The last budget surplus in this country was under a democratic president (Clinton). This was before the Bush tax cuts were to be the saving of the country. All those Bush tax cuts have accomplished is for the wealthy to become more wealthy and the average American to become worse off than they were previously. Greed by rich politicians (democrats and republicans) and their wealthy supporters is what is hurting this county. Greed stimulated by unregulated wall st and spurred by the fact that capital gains are taxed so low have caused the buying of congress members who support those policies. I used to be a republican but the republicans currently seem to support through their policies only the rich and confuse many Americans with their seemingly good moral policies. Many Americans vote for their moral stances all the while being led to their economic slaughter because they haven't learned that those that have been given much have a higher responsibility to better our nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035246631717270242.post-11505898992334890962012-06-10T21:00:47.686-04:002012-06-10T21:00:47.686-04:00Most Arminians are more Arminian than Jabob Armini...Most Arminians are more Arminian than Jabob Arminius -- meaning that they rely on the conclusions and persuasions of Charles Finney for their understanding of what it means to be Arminian.

Religions with a linear divine history often depict hells as endless. Religions with a cyclic history often depict a hell as an intermediary period between incarnations. Typically these traditions locate hell under the Earth's external surface and often include entrances to Hell from the land of the living. Other afterlife destinations include Heaven, Purgatory, Paradise, and Limbo.hammocks ukhttp://www.hammocksoutlet.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035246631717270242.post-16446869013980211092012-06-06T06:33:10.260-04:002012-06-06T06:33:10.260-04:00According to my agriculture teacher, that the gree...According to my agriculture teacher, that the green snake are very dangerous for us because It hides in the grass.hammocks ukhttp://www.hammocksoutlet.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035246631717270242.post-178016267612881192012-05-04T10:21:48.320-04:002012-05-04T10:21:48.320-04:00Karen,
